Science fiction is a genre in which the stories tell about science and technology of the future. It has a relationship with the principles of science. These stories are partially true and partially fictitious laws of science in order to not make it completely unbelievable, because then it goes into the genre of fantasy. Science fiction texts are mostly set on the future, new discoveries, scientific developments and it is also set in the future, space or even other dimensions.
The genre formally emerged in the West, where the social transformations wrought by the Industrial Revolution first led writers and intellectuals to extrapolate the future impact of technology. By the beginning of the 20th century, an array of standard science fiction “sets” had developed around certain themes, among them space travel, robots, alien beings, and time travel.
